Thread: Kids 223

having taught my 3 to shoot - definitely a stock to suit is a must - I had a youth pump Remington .22 mod 12 ( now passed on ) and that was great open sights- airrifle was a difficult one - the first one that had a stock to suit was a co2 powered youth air rifle Crossman - but expensive to shoot - got traded for a BSA meteor that had been shortened -that was really good accurate good trigger - then a mistake I bought a Diana that had a longer stock and was scoped - they all struggled with it despite the fact they could get good groups with it - but a rifle some good ideas here - the way to go would be a rifle with a wooden stock - cut that down and that has the option of later putting a synthetic on it - that would mean likely something a little more modern - but if you made a neat cut and the rifle was not valuable you could glue the piece back on later - but likely someone who has a youngster would jump at it cut down
